Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, Jamie O’Hara, has claimed that Manchester United’s Harry Maguire has achieved more for England than Chelsea legend John Terry and Red Devils legend Rio Ferdinand.
Maguire has played just 511 minutes of football under new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag this season.
But the former Leicester City star was included in England manager Gareth Southgate’s 26-man list for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Maguire has been quite successful for England in recent years as he helped Southgate’s men reach a World Cup semi-final and a European championship final.
In a conversation with Chelsea legend Jason Cundy, O’Hara brought Maguire’s international achievements to the fore, branding him a top player.
Cundy asked on talkSPORT: “When was the last time we [England] had a top, top, top class centre-half?”
O’Hara then replied: “They got to the European final and the World Cup semi-final. Harry Maguire has been in the team of the tournament in the World Cup and the Euros.”
Cundy, however, wasn’t entirely convinced by O’Hara’s comments, arguing that Maguire could not be kept in the same bracket as Terry and Ferdinand.
He said: “But you can’t put him in the same bracket as John Terry and Rio Ferdinand.”
O’Hara then justified his stance, saying, “No, you can’t at club level, but why can’t you at the international level? He has achieved more than what they’ve done.
“Harry Maguire has achieved more than Rio Ferdinand and John Terry at international level.”
